ASV Hamm-Westfalen Names Jamal Naji Head Coach as Team Beats Aurich 35–29

The former Bergischer HC coach signs on to take charge next week following a brief interim spell under captain Fabian Huesmann.

Overview

  • Club officials confirmed before kickoff that Naji, 39, has signed, with CEO Markus Fuchs calling the hire a "wish solution."
  • Naji will report on Monday and move into the role as the squad transitions from the interim setup to his leadership.
  • Huesmann’s interim tenure delivered a 33:29 win at GWD Minden II and Sunday’s home victory over OHV Aurich, closing the stopgap arrangement.
  • In the top-of-the-table clash, ASV led 22:12 at half and won 35:29, powered by Niklas Gautzsch’s 12 first‑half goals and key late saves.
  • Naji’s background spans TUSEM Essen and Bergischer HC after an injury‑ended playing career, and his dismissal from BHC is the subject of an ongoing case at Germany’s Federal Labour Court.
